I produced a range of sketches of a desk for
a hotel bedroom. I started producing a Time
Sheet to keep up with how much time I
have been spending each day on the work
and what work I have been producing each
day. I have researched various hotel desk
designs and writing information such as
form, function, user requirements, materials
and cost with sustainability. I have created a
design presentation that will have to been
presented on 15th February 2015. I have
researched hotel desk with Eco-Friendly
materials such as bamboo, plywood
laminate, aluminium and stainless steel. I
also produced a Gantt Chart with what tasks
I will be doing.
2-2-2016
I was completing the design presentation by
adding research and also finding
information about LED lighting and the
target audience, sustainability and sketches
added.
3-3-2016
Lecturers checked my design presentation
and research for improvements with ideas
on what more research I can do and what
sketched I can do to improve the design and
to make it different.

I drew a few sketches of hotel desk designs
with laptops, plug socket for mobile phones
and iPads, drawer units, shelves, light and
mirror to be included on the design.
5-5-2016
I started doing research on the
Environmental Aspects of Stainless Steel,
Aluminium and Stainless Steel. I also started
the questionnaire to give to the target
audience for their feedback and their
requirements for the hotel furniture desk. I
also created a questionnaire for the Target
Audience.

Publisher file and drawing up a few hotel
furniture desk designs.
10-2-2016
I had feedback from my lecturer and he was
trying to persuade my to change my project
to do a sofa bed instead of a desk but doing
a sofa bed is irrelevant to what I want to
and I also cannot use Eco-Friendly materials
with it. I am going to continue with the desk
design with the Eco-Friendly materials. I

Solidworks to show what it will look like and
to add to the research portfolio. I also went
to visit a Holiday Inn back in Gloucester
where my hometown is to get primary
research. We met up with the Manager who
let me see a bedroom and to take any
primary research that was nesseccarily
needed. I also noticed that the desk in that
current bedroom was small with a big flat
screen TV with two drawer units with plug
sockets and light switch against the wall.
